Lower drivetrain drag with the Tamiya 54579 set

Swapping worn plastic bushings for ball bearings is a straightforward performance tweak. The Tamiya 54579 collection contains 16 1150 bearings aimed at cutting drivetrain losses and helping axle components last longer under regular use.

Designed to suit multiple Tamiya chassis

The Tamiya 54579 kit fits a number of established Tamiya frames. It is suitable for DT-03 and DT-02 platforms (which commonly take 14 bearings) and is also compatible with WR-02, WR-02G and WT-01 setups that use 16 bearings, so it covers many hobby setups.

Why swap to ball bearings?

Ball bearings lower friction where shafts and gears rotate, resulting in smoother acceleration and reduced wear. That keeps your model running more efficiently during club days or backyard sessions.

They can fit other models that use the 1150 size, but check your parts list for bearing dimensions before fitting to older kits.
Most small ball bearings come lightly lubricated from the factory. Inspect and re-lube with light bearing oil if you need improved longevity or lower friction.
For balanced performance replace the set across the affected drivetrain rather than mixing old bushings and new bearings, which can cause uneven wear.
